Barely existing in Vancouver, BC.
😢I’m sad. My kids are selling their old Lego. We have 26 Lego friends and a few Star Wars sets. When we moved they were broken down, so it’s too hard to sort everything into sets again. Anyway someone is coming to pick it all up tomorrow. Makes me sad it’s like part of their childhood is going .

The Mayor isn’t here to hear speakers - the meeting is being chaired by Acting Mayor Zhou.
Vancouver City Council has just resumed to continue to hear speakers on the 2026 Capital and Operating Budget. We’re up to speaker 450.

I’m watching a TV show that is not set in Vancouver, yet here is the Main Library at UBC superimposed on some other random building someplace. It looks so bad

I really want to like the NDP, like really badly want to like them and want to vote for them in the next election, but they keep doing dumb shit. Like why would vote against this at this time, when you don't have a leader and no means to participate in an election.
170-168, House approves government's budgetary policy.

Liberals and Elizabeth May in favour.

Conservatives, Bloc and most NDP MPs against.

Four abstentions: NDP MPs Gord Johns and Lori Idlout, CPC MPs Matt Jeneroux and Shannon Stubbs.

Just did a story on the news with the line being “lower house prices are not helping sales”. Well guess what I guess the prices need to go down even more. RE agents shrug shoulders and say well it’s the “market price” when prices are high but whine when they drop its just whining

Monday has just been Monday-ing hard. supposed to get my Covid/Flu vaccine today but I touched something yesterday and have hives up and down my arm, and allergy meds aren’t doing anything. Had to cancel, now there are no appointments available at any pharmacies within 2km, for the rest of time

Bloody hell, for four yrs I have been getting phone calls from various collections agencies for the a-hole who had my number before me. Every-Time I call them back and tell them 1) I am not William Liu 2) I have no idea who William Liu is. This morning they called me at 5:30 am. ACRM get lost.

Taylor Swift’s silence on the Trump administration using her music speaks volumes | Alim Kheraj
Official Trump social media accounts have been using The Life of a Showgirl snippets to promote his agenda. Why has Swift, who once wanted ‘to be on the right side of history’, said nothing?

The very predictable and oft-heard answer — that people who can afford to fly are so rich that they don’t need transit — is outdated and irrelevant. Transit is good for everyone: it lowers traffic and reduces greenhouse gases, irrespective of who is using it.
Stop the presses!

Next week, the Victoria Regional Transit Commission will consider the option of creating a one-seat (direct) ride from downtown Victoria to YYJ and on to Swartz Bay. This would be achieved by altering the 72 line and re-routing it to YYJ.

Thoughts? Would you take the bus to YYJ?

Super proud of kid and her vball team. They beat a team that has been a massive Achilles heel for two yrs for their team, in 3 straight sets. They finished third in their zone (about 25 schools) with the win and are headed to highschool provincials in two weeks.

My IL’e are here and it’s taken 5 days for them to go on an anti immigration rant, all the while complaining how there isn’t enough money paying for their joint replacements

“Now show it in the rain,” is a comment that pops up in our feed occasionally, as if the country that cycles 18 billion kilometres while experiencing 217 days of precipitation each year grinds to a halt every single time the skies open.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad infrastructure.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Happy to see that the people in Kamloops aren’t raging racists.
The story is actually that Dallas Brodie’s anti-Indigenous racism and generally antisocial politics aren’t welcome in Kamloops, and she was booted to the curb. Byyye. www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop...

PSA: if you are a professor of an online course and you have a whole discussion section for your students to ask you questions about assignments, you should probably be on top of answering the questions and not leave them for two weeks and answer right before the assignment is due

Yay! Kid was just named to the first all team for her highschool division for volleyball.

Have a friend who was nominated for an award that is labelled as something for Young Adults shaping the future in their industry. She’s almost 50. Is that YA now? Can boomers just get out of the way and accept that other people are full fledged adults that can function and be leaders.

I can't possibly be shocked that politicians are downplaying the Epstein files when the internet has spent the last 6 yrs turning Epstein into a meme and punchline.

If everyday people trivialize the trafficking and sexual abuse of girls, why the fuck would politicians be any different? C'mon now.

Makes me so mad that my kid hasn’t had very little interest from Uni’s to play vball but another kid who is objectively a worse player just announced her spot at a Uni. The difference: she is 2 inches taller. 😡

Ugh really bad scene on Pacific and Nelson this afternoon. Depending on who you read, either someone jumped from a balcony or a child fell off a balcony. Just really awful either way.
